i could listen to Drongo talk about anything. dude is so funny and quick and idk if it's an American thing but Aussie accents just make me smile. i dont even play AoE but i know everything about the game now haha

[@Spyrothecat]

I always really like the way you mention your dad, it’s really sweet - I hope when my son grows up he talks about me like you do about your dad

Kiljardi with the no eco upgrades challenge. 40 mins -> zero of the classic ones

[@BjornIvarstead]

I believe there is still a bug for japan for the eco upgrades in the caster UI

[@cazaimi]

Had us in the first half, not gonna lie.

[@matiasbarth5121]

Drongo's casts are the best!

[@binach7515]

Actually Japanese is the civ that ppl (including me) love playing and AOE4 data shows it. I think your view might be biased bc you cast 🌎 top players and winning/rank is more important to them than fun. If you look at AOE 4 world, in raw count of games Japanese is the most played in almost every level and overall. English is only one that's competititor. If you filter on the website, it's "only " conquerer IV where Japanese is NOT the most played. Not arguing Drongo, I like you :)

12:35 I guessed 45. No high fives for meee.

An enjoyable game to watch. Pretty close with good trades throughout.

Hey Drongo, my Englisch was never good. But cause of you it sounds even more funny. After picking up Spanish accent when living in South America and mixing it with my German accent now it got spiced up with your Aussie accent. Thanks for that. 😂 love your vids

[@mikeuuuytffvghjjoopoiytf]

I missed the part where japan spammed castles in castle age

[@bayloresparza3808]

love your vids but your gonna start losing us if you keep click bating. 40 min video to realize it was clickbate makes me not trust your titles

[@MrNickessler]

😂😂

​@bayloresparza3808 not his fault you didnt get the joke

[@kroanosm617]

That's the thing. They can't build Castles until Imperial Age like he said in the video. It's too strong for castle age.

I didn’t know how the Kiljardi did it, but damn. 2 of the best imperial civs going at it, Good cast.

39:55 The Japanese have 4/22 upgrades.

[@imperium_vox]

op civs don't need upgrades

[@tillhaferkorn6263]

the UI is wrong on Japanese wheelbarrow. and pretty sure also on food upgrade, as both are unique

[@deanisplemoni]

Them KFC and schmoyoho references. Beautiful.

[@79PoisonBreaker]

I find going 1 tc the yoshiro feels best in military production but later or multiple tc when wood is plentiful forge gold is better.

[@diegoalexandre6212]

this match was epic!

Wait, did anyone else see the skating Japanese archer at 15:40? Drongo didn't say anything so I thought for a sec I was seeing things.

"What does this wall even do other than make you feel safe. I feel safe, but I'm self conscience now because all the horsemen keep running through this tiny little wall... tiny little hole. Said it wouldn't fit, it fit perfectly." Drongo 2024

[@TheGreatMoonFrog]

It's like the Rus player just refuses to make a real push. He kept cleaning up the Japanese forces and then...just chilled in his base.

[@joncelis9052]

Drongo mate I like your casts but I have one suggestion/critique at the beginning of the matches, mostly, but not exclusively you go totally in to tangents. I would love if instead share some of that vast knowlegde and make a summary of the civs playing, a map description and how might play out. Don´t take me wrong you do it here and there but would be interesting in a more tightly manner.

[@robketelaars4521]

Really fun upload again! I owe you a highfive, got 48.

[@domtom79]

Triple Town Center Tactic

[@UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana]

I think eventually, the meta for the late game will include regular forward villagers, to get value by attacking siege, quick walling, building outpost and production building, adding arrow fire, torching down walls in undefended areas, etc. However, that tactic is so attention heavy, I think even top level players will take a lot longer to be able to use that effectively while gold is still relatively plentiful, especially as their unconsious would need to become able to handle the monotonous tasks themselves to free up thinking power. So it wouldn't really be a misplay to not use them right now. I think both players played really well this game.

[@Jawsar]

Dying with 2k stone never feels good. May have turned the tide back if he had 2 defensive keeps

[@jaydoles88]

Good game drongo

[@nationarmy2514]

drogno if count the cabins that give you gold.. i'd say its equal on relics :P

[@kimrossjensen3077]

Japanesse is the only faction u wanner build pikemen and archers, from a visual perspective. Sure, that Kiroko house nerf was hard, but hell if im stopping the Japaneese spam.

[@GrabbaBeer]

I’ve played sas before and I don’t even know all the hot keys lmao

[@Ericstroman100]

rus OP. I need to pplace Kremlin on gold from now on

[@Vocu]

what is Rus general strength, i started playing them to tower troll but dont really know what makes them strong yet, is it the extra springald range? the warrior monk?

[@Mike-om4tv]

Early knight, several siege advantages, good civ for grabbing relics, good early/mid game base defense from militia

[@Awesomeman1987]

Cheap handcannons, early knights, siege, passive gold and really strong food income.

[@JohnFromAccounting]

Good in feudal, strong early economy, Kremlin is one of the best landmarks.

what? they are still op. Samurai and hand cannon siege guys

They're more balanced now, but still OP

[@user-ty7bj3hm7u]

Japanese vs FakeRus

[@jaydoles88]

I guessed 54 😮

[@stewarttrench528]

I've played Rus since launch and I love the civ. As a player, I love the early game Bunti system. Every other civ has such an boring early game. Literally 5 minutes of just gathering sheep and building villagers every single game. As a player who moved to AoE4 from 10 years of Starcraft2 where games can be over in 5 minutes the early game is very repetitive and stale. This game is a good example. when in a macro game, bar a few minor scuffles/harassment over the boar there was basically no action for the first 14min. Bit meh to both watch and play. I do however love the game, its the first AoE game that I've actually enjoyed playing and I put it down to Rus. Probably would've reverted back to Starcraft without the civ months ago. Hoping to see them cast some more but I understand your frustrations with the audio on your videos RE wolves. I don't even register it anymore after a few years of playing them

Japan needs buff

[@Lazy_Dog1997]

#64 like. Good Game

[@imperium_vox]

The Japanese simply ignored economic upgrades, but their economy is stronger than that of Rus'. He also ignored upgrades for infantry, but won by spamming this infantry! This is not how it should work!

[@sanethoughtspreader]

Japanese don't have food upgrades and they don't have the same wheelbarrow upgrade so maybe they did have them but they don't display properly.

[@ShadHunter7]

[@phillyravensfan]

200/200 Rus without a single knight. As a Gold Rus main, this was the worst thing I’ve ever watched lol. Dominated for 33 minutes then died because the knight civ didn’t have knights. Wow.

[@nothankkyou3176]

Died building the perfect counter to the Japanese unit. Just too weak compared to Japanese. 50 streets couldn't kill 50 melee units. Just a sad state thr game is in
